perspectives

More drawings from the model sessions at Artlink! I had lots of fun drawing the figure above, it reminded me of Mantegna's "Lamentation Over the Dead Christ" (pictured below). Super challenging! Measure and measure again!

The other artists were excited about drawing last night as well. It was a great vibe. The model did a couple 5 minute challenging warm-up poses that got people excited. There was some gleeful laughter after one of the contorted poses. I could tell from the body language of the other drawers, the intent looks, leaning forward, the quick glances and furious sketching...the laughter of excitement at the end of a pose.
